At the end of the day, this is probably misguided curiosity with, "I want to grab/hold/play" attitude, with no self awareness (that doesn't fully develop until mid 20's, which is why tweenagers are such idiots). It's a good lesson to learn, delivered in a firm way, and the parents let this kid down
Mama duck taught this kid a valuable lesson in FAFO.
Being a parent is trying to put yourself in the mind of a little unregulated, emotion driven, need/want machine and anticipate they're not going to... And then try to ensure that 1) they don't do it, 2) they learn why not to do it and when 3) they do it, the lesson sticks and they don't do it again.
Good to see that you are a good parent! Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼💙🌷
